The forex chargeback trap

Every friendly-fraud dispute is a tax on your growth.

A trader deposits, loses on a volatile market, then tells their bank "I never authorized this." The bank sides with them by default — and your brand eats the loss, the fees, and a rising ratio that puts your merchant account on a knife's edge.

How it works

Three layers between you and every dispute.

Every deposit is wrapped in evidence before a chargeback can ever be filed — prevention, real-time screening, and automated recovery working together.

01

Capture ironclad consent

At the moment of deposit we bind the trader to a verified, timestamped acceptance of your risk terms — device, IP, geolocation and signature. Undeniable proof they knew, and chose, the risk.

02

Screen every transaction in real time

Our layer scores every transaction, flags high-risk behaviour, and strengthens descriptors and 3-D Secure signals — so banks recognise the charge as legitimate before a dispute is considered.

03

Auto-win the representment

If a chargeback slips through, Payshield instantly assembles a compelling, network-formatted evidence pack and files the response for you — turning "the customer's word" into a case the bank rules in your favour.

Anatomy of a defended dispute

Watch a "friendly fraud" chargeback fail.

A trader loses $8,400, then files an "I never authorized this" dispute. Here's what happens next — automatically.

The platform

Everything a forex brand needs to stay dispute-free.

Purpose-built for the realities of high-risk trading merchants — not a generic fraud tool bolted onto your stack.

  3. 03

    Real-time dispute alerts

    Get pinged the second a pre-dispute or RDR notice hits — and resolve it before it ever becomes a chargeback.

  4. 04

    Fast onboarding

    From kickoff to fully protected in under 14 days, with our team guiding setup end to end.

What operators say

Brands sleep better with Payshield.

★★★★★

"We were three weeks from losing our primary MID. Payshield pulled our ratio from 1.4% to under 0.1% in a single billing cycle. It genuinely saved the business."

DR
Daniel Roux
COO, Apex Markets
★★★★★

"The consent capture is the magic. Traders can't claim they didn't authorize a deposit when we hand the bank a signed, geolocated timestamp. Win rate went through the roof."

Questions, answered

Everything you're wondering.

How long does it take to go live?+

Most brands are fully live within 14 days. Our team works with you end to end — from mapping your current dispute exposure to switching on consent capture, transaction screening, and automated representments.

How do you actually get chargebacks near 0%?+

Three ways at once: we capture ironclad, timestamped consent at deposit so traders can't credibly claim "unauthorized"; we strengthen fraud and 3-D Secure signals on every transaction so legitimate charges are recognised by banks; and if a dispute still lands, we auto-build and file a winning representment. Prevention plus recovery is what drives the ratio down.

A customer lost money trading — how is that my liability?+

It shouldn't be, and that's the point. When a trader chooses to risk capital and loses, that's their decision — not a fault of your brand. Payshield documents that decision with legally-weighted, verifiable consent, so when they attempt a "friendly fraud" chargeback, the evidence proves the loss was the trader's own doing, not an unauthorized or mis-sold transaction.

What does it cost?+

Pricing is performance-based — you pay primarily on disputes we prevent or win, so Payshield only makes money when it's saving you money. Book a demo and we'll model your exact exposure and a plan against it.

Is this compliant with card scheme rules?+

Yes. Everything we do is built around Visa and Mastercard dispute frameworks — including reason-code-aware evidence, RDR/pre-dispute handling, and compliant representment formatting. We help you stay under scheme chargeback thresholds, not skirt them.
